About this manual
This manual intends to be used as a guide for using the Fostex DV824
DVD multitrack recorder.
This manual is written assuming that you have experience of using professional digital recorders and basic knowledge of digital recording.
By reading "Chapter 1: Introduction" and "Chapter 3: Names and
functions", you may roughly understand the outline of the DV824 and
how to use the DV824.
Chapter 3 can be used as the index because we not only briefly describe
functions of each control but also show the page where details are described.
"Chapter 2: Preparation before using the DV824" describes information
for using the DV824 for the first time, such as power connection and
initial formatting of the supplied DVD-RAM disk.
Precautions
• For supplying the power to the unit, only use the Fostex Model AD-15C
adaptor (the AD15C is supplied with the unit).
If you use any other AC adaptor, the unit may not work correctly and
there is a serious risk of damage to the unit.
• Make sure that the voltage of your AC power outlet matches the
voltage requirements printed on the AC adaptor.
If you wish to use the unit in a country where the voltage of the AC
power outlet does not match your AC adaptor, ask your local Fostex
dealer or service station for purchasing an appropriate AC adaptor.
Note that the AC adaptor can be used both in 50 Hz and 60 Hz areas.
• Never supply voltage other than DC12V to the unit.
• When disconnecting the AC adaptor, make sure that the unit [POWER]
switch is set to "OFF".
Disconnecting the AC adaptor while the power is "ON" may damage
data because the unit always handles data.
• While the unit is accessing to a disk (for example, during recording),
never turn off the power. Make sure that the unit completely stops
accessing to the disk before you turn off the power. Otherwise, recorded
data may be lost, as well as the disk may be damaged.
<Note>: Note that Fostex assumes no responsibility on data loss or whatsoever due to use of the unit.
<Note>: Fostex is not responsible for any "direct damage" or "indirect damage" caused by using the unit.
• Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as pins,
accidentally enter the inside of the unit (especially inside of the disk
tray) because this may lead to electric shock or damage. Should water
enter the inside of the unit, turn off the power, unplug the AC adaptor
and remove batteries, and consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX
service station.
9
• Do not drop the unit or give it a strong shock. The internal circuits,
display, panels may be damaged. Handle the unit with great care
because it is a precision machine.
• To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the unit, do not
remove the cover or reach the inside of the unit.
• Do not give a strong shock to the LCD display. The liquid used inside
the LCD display is toxic. If the liquid is spilled, do not suck it in.
If it is stained to your hand or skin, wash immediately with plenty of
water.
<About replacing the lithium battery>
The DV824 uses a lithium battery internally. To replace the battery, ask
your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station. If the battery is not correctly replaced, there may be a risk of explosion, etc.
Precautions on installation
Do not install the unit in the following conditions.
*
*
*
*
*
In a extremely hot or cold place
In a moist place
In a shaky or unstable place
In a dusty place
In a strong magnetic field or near a device which generates a
magnetic field
* In the direct sunshine
* In the direct rain or water
• Notes on moisture condensation
When you bring the unit from a cold place to a warm place, moisture
may condense on the drive, display, panels, etc. In such a case, leave
the unit for a while until it warms up and evaporates any moisture.

Chapter-1: Introduction
11
Main features/functions
• Equipped with an E-IDE 12-centimeter DVD-RAM drive.
This drive ensures high-speed access and reliability, which only the optical
disk system can afford.
• The DVD-RAM disk format is conformed to "UDF Rev1.5", which ensures
compatibility with personal computers.
• The recording file format is conformed to the BWF interleave 1 file
specification. When a file is imported to a DAW from the DV824, it can be
separated to multiple mono files. (Note that the DAW must support
interleave files.)
• In addition to mono-track and stereo-track modes, 4-, 5-, 6- and 8-track
modes are available for recording.
• Supports word synchronization as standard, allowing the DV824
synchronized with external digital devices.
• By installing the optional TC/SYNC card, you can record a time code
generated by the internal TC generator (in +/- 1 PPM accuracy) or an
external SMPTE/EBU time code, along with audio signals. The recorded time
code data is stored to the Time Stamp (Time Reference) of the BWF file.
You can also synchronize the DV824 to a film machine.
• Built in ether card. The DV824 can be an FTP server, allowing you to
transfer audio file data between the DV824 and your personal computer via
TCP/IP.
• By creating an ALE file from a recorded audio file, you can export it to the
AVID system.
• By installing the optional 2.5-inch hard disk drive, you can make "Auto
copy", "File Copy" and "Disk Copy" between a DVD-RAM disk and a hard
disk partition, as well as "Dual Drive Recording".
• By installing the optional IEEE1394 USB2 card, you can directly connect the
DV824 to a personal computer. It allows exporting audio file data recorded
by the DV824 to your personal computer.
• A USB port is provided for connecting to a USB keyboard. You can enter or
edit a file name, volume name, etc. from a keyboard instead of the DV824
panel keys.
• The Mark/Cue function allows to store markers (cue points) during
recording. You can locate or skip to a cue point quickly.
• The "False start" function allows to cancel recording easily.
• "Pre Record" function allows glitch-free recording. When this function is
active, recent audio data is pooled in the buffer and recording starts from
the audio data in the buffer.

When loading the unused disk supplied with
the unit, the disk is scanned and the display
shows "Unformat!", followed by the second level
screen of the "Format" menu item in the "DISK
UTILITY" menu of the MENU mode. You can
now execute the "initial formatting" by following the procedure described on page 20.
F FWD
[OPEN/CLOSE] key

The DVD-RAM drive of the unit can load following types of disks. Depending on the type of a
disk loaded, the unit starts up differently as described below. If you set a disk with the type
other than the following types, the unit automatically rejects it and opens the disk tray.
• Unformatted disk
As described earlier, the unit recognizes that the disk is unformatted and shows "Unformat"
on the display, followed by the "Format" menu item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the
MENU mode.
• Unused formatted disk
If you set an unused UDF-formatted disk, the unit scans the disk and recognizes that no
BWF files exist on the disk, then starts up while showing "--No files!--" on the Home screen
(see page 21 for details).
• Recorded disk
If you set a DVD-RAM disk on which any audio file is recorded, the earliest recorded audio
file (file number 001) on the disk is loaded normally. For example, if five recorded audio
files (001 through 005) exist on the disk, the unit always starts up at the beginning (ABS 0)
of the "001" file. However, if the "Resume" menu item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the
MENU mode is set to "On", the audio file previously loaded before turning off the power
last time is loaded (see page 154 for details).
• CD-DA format audio CD
If you set an audio CD disk of the Red Book format (regardless of whether it is a CD-R/RW
disk or commercially available CD), the unit starts up at the beginning of track 1 (see page
64 for detaols). Only playback is possible with an audio CD.
Note that some copy-protected audio CDs may not be played back.
• ISO9660-formatted CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW
If you set an ISO9660-formatted CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disk, you can play back a WAV
file (BWF) on the disk.
Important notice for setting an uncovered disk to the tray
When you set an uncovered disk (such as a DVD-RAM disk which is taken out from a case,
a CD-ROM or an audio CD), place the disk on the inner position of the tray and then slide
it forward to fix it by the fixing guides on the tray, as shown in <Figure 1>. If you place a
disk on the fixing guides and close the tray, the disk is not loaded correctly, which may
damage the disk or the unit. Please make sure that an uncovered disk is correctly fixed by
the fixing guides before closing the tray. When removing a disk from the tray, slide it
backward and pull it up, as shown in <Figure 2>.
<Figure 2>

To remove a disk,
slide it backward and
pull it up.
<Note>: The unit cannot make recording using an uncovered
disk. An uncovered disk only can be played back.
19
Initial format of a DVD-RAM disk
To make recording/playback by the unit, you have to format a DVD-RAM disk in the
UDF Rev 1.5 format.
When loading an unused DVD-RAM disk, the unit recognizes the disk is not formatted and automatically goes to the second level of the "Format" menu item.
On the "Format" second level screen, you can set the following four items before
executing formatting.
<The "Format" second level screen>
Drive
Selects a drive for formatting. If the optional hard disk drive is not installed, the internal
DVD-RAM drive is the only option. If the optional hard disk drive is installed, you can select
from among hard disk partitions (PT01 through PT08) and the internal DVD-RAM drive.
Reel No
Sets the reel number of a disk (or a partition of the optional hard disk drive) to be formatted.
You can change the reel number after formatting, therefore, you do not have to change the
default reel number here.
Format Mode
Selects a desired format mode. If the optional hard disk drive is not installed, "Normal" is
the only option. If the optional hard disk drive is installed, you can select "DDR" for dual
drive recording, as well as "Normal".
Selects whether or not physical-formatting a DVD-RAM disk (or a partition of the optional
hard disk drive).
Physical Format This item is only valid for the "Normal" format mode. When setting this item to "Off", the unit
executes the simple format and it takes very short time. When setting it to "On", it takes
some time for formatting (see below).
<Note>: A reel number can be edited using the "Reel No" menu item in the "DISK UTILITY"
menu. For details about reel number editing, see "Editing the reel number" on page 152.
<Note>: When formatting a well-used disk, execute the physical format.
We also recommend executing the physical format for an unused disk if you have time.
The following shows the appropriate required time for formatting a 4.7GB DVD-RAM disk
(the required time according to the selection of the "Physical Format" item is shown on the
screen).
When "Physical Format" is set to "Off": approx. 1 min. 30 sec.
When "Physical Format" is set to "On": approx. 1 hour 30 min.
<Note>: For details about dual drive recording, see "Advanced operations" on page 89.
20
The following description shows how to UDF-format an unused 4.7GB/Type2 DVDRAM disk which is supplied with the unit, leaving the four items above as their default settings.
1)

output +4 dBu analog audio signals.
Digital audio connection
The DV824 accepts digital signals conformed to IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) or IEC 60958 (S/P DIF)
format (the format of the digital source is automatically detected). The digital connection is
made via the D-sub 25-pin DIGITAL I/O connector.
To record a digital audio source, connect a digital source to the [DIGITAL I/O] connector, and
set the "Select Input" and "Setup digital in" menu items of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU
mode appropriately.
"Select Input" must be set to "Digital" (the default is "Analog"), while "Setup digital in" should
be set appropriately depending on the situation (see pages 45 and 119 respectively). The latter
can be set in pair channels and the default settings of four pairs are all "Digital".
When the DV824 receives a digital source from the selected channels, PLL (Phased-locked
loop) activates and locks to the input sync signal.
The DV824 also outputs digital signals conformed to IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) or IEC 60958 (S/P
DIF) format. The format of the digital output signal can be selected using the "Digital out"
menu item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (the default is "ABS/EBU"). (See page
120 for details.)
38
<Note>: The FS of the receiving digital input signal must match the FS setting of the
unit. You can make the FS setting using the "Record FS/BIT" menu item of the "SYS
SETUP" menu in the MENU mode or the quick setup mode (see pages 47 and 117 respectively).

Time code input/output connection (for the optional TC/SYNC card)
By installing the optional TC/SYNC card (Model 8348), you can stripe time code generated by
the TC generator on the card or external time code (SMPTE/EBU) received from the [TIME
CODE INPUT] connector, together with audio signals. The [TIME CODE INPUT] connector is
XLR-3-31-type (pin 2=hot).
To stripe external time code, set the "Gen mode" menu item of the "TC SETUP" menu in the
MENU mode or quick setup mode to "Ext Run" (see page 47 and 128 respectively).
While the unit is receiving valid time code via the [TIME CODE INPUT] connector, you can
check the current time and frame rate of the incoming time code by selecting the time mode
on the display to "TC IN". The unit recognizes incoming time code as "valid" when the time
code satisfies the following conditions.
1) The time code runs forward continuously.
2) The sync clock and frame rate of the time code match the DV824 setting.
3) The time code has very few dropouts.
The [TIME CODE OUTPUT] connector outputs SMPTE/EBU time code. The connector is XLR-332 type (pin 2=hot). It can output time code recorded on a disk (REPRO TC) or time code
generated by the time code generator on the optional TC/SYNC card (INT GEN TC), which can
be selected using the "Sel. TC Out" menu item of the "TC SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (see
Connection to a film machine (for the optional TC/SYNC card)
The optional TC/SYNC card provides the [BI-PHASE INPUT] connector, which receives a biphase signal for synchronizing the unit to a film machine. To synchronize the unit to a film
machine, set the "BiPhase Setup" menu item of the "TC SETUP" menu in the MENU mode
appropriately (see page 138 for details).
A D-sub, 5-pin type connector with a built-in photo-coupler is used for the [BI-PHASE INPUT]
connector. It accepts a TTL level signal.
Connection to a personal computer (for the optional IEEE1394/USB card)
By fitting the optional IEEE1394/USB card and installing the driver supplied with the card (or
commercially available DVD writing software application) to your PC, you can transfer audio
files between the DV824 and PC (see page 93 for details).
The IEEE1394/USB card provides a pair of the [IEEE1394] ports conformed to P1394a Draft2.0,
as well as the [USB] port which is "USB Series B Receptacle".

Input signal selection (" INPUT " of the status information area)
By selecting " INPUT " and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, you can select the input
signal between "Analog" (default) and " Digital". You can also make input signal
selection via the "Select Input" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU
mode (see page 119 for details), as well as via the quick setup mode.
Analog
You can record analog audio signals fed to the [ANALOG INPUT] connectors.
Digital
You can record digital audio signals (AES/EBU or S/P DIF) fed to the [DIGITAL I/0]
connector. The unit automatically detects the digital signal format (AES/EBU or S/
P DIF).
<Note>: If you select "Digital" but the unit does not receive correct digital
signals from the [DIGITAL I/0] connector on the rear panel or does not lock to
the digital input signals, "Digital" flashes quickly for warning. When the unit
receive correct digital signals and lock to them, "Digital" is steadily lit.
<Note>: When "Digital" is selected, all channels can record digital signals by
default. However, if you want to record analog and digital signals simultaneously, set the "Setup digital in" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the
MENU mode appropriately (see page 119 for details). You can select signal source
between analog and digital in two channel pairs.
45
<Note>: The INPUT section in the status information area shows as below depending on the selection between "Analog" and "Digital".
The left screen example shows when “Analog” is selected
here. All channels (1 through 8) can record analog audio
signals, regardless of the “Setup digital in” setting in the
“SYS SETUP” menu.
When selecting
"Analog"
When selecting
"Digital"
When selecting
"Digital"
The left screen example shows when “Digital” is selected
here. All channels (1 through 8) lock to digital input signals and can record them. In this example, the “Setup
digital in” setting in the “SYS SETUP” menu is the default
(i.e. all channels are set to “Digital”).
If a channel does not lock to the digital input signal, it
automatically switches to select analog input, while the
corresponding channel number and “Digital” flash quickly
for warning.
The left screen example shows when “Analog” is selected
here, however, the “Setup digital in” setting in the “SYS
SETUP” menu is as below.
• channels 1-2: “Analog”
• channels 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8: “Digital”
In this case, you can record analog and digital signals
together. If a channel does not lock to the digital input
signal, it automatically switches to select analog input,
while the corresponding channel number and “Digital”
flash quickly for warning.
TC frame rate selection (" FRAME " of the status information area)
You can select the frame rate of LTC recorded together with audio (or time code recorded when the optional TC/SYNC card is installed).
By selecting " FRAME " and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, you can select the desired frame
rate from among the following (the default is "25").
The unit records LTC together with audio signals. By default, "01h00m00s00f" is stamped

returns to the Home screen for the most recently recorded audio file.
When canceling the take and clear the audio file, the name of the cleared audio
file is shown in the next file name field and the disk remaining time returns to the
value before the last recording is made.
Recording in Pre rec mode
The DV824 features the "Pre recording" function (in this manual, we say "Pre
rec mode" for the DV824 status when the "Pre recording" function is active).
In the Pre rec mode, recording is made from the audio pooled in the buffer.
This prevents missing the start of a take. For example, if you press the [RECORD]
key a few seconds after an important interview starts, there is no problem.
Because the beginning part of the interview recorded in the buffer also can be
recorded to the disk.
By default, pre recording time of the buffer is set to ten seconds. Via the "Pre rec
time" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode, you can set the
pre recording time to the desired time between one and ten seconds in one
second steps (see page 120 for details).

DEF
You can select On/Off of the Pre rec mode using the [PRE REC] key.
When it is set to On, the [PRE REC] indicator is lit. When Off, it is unlit.
[PRE REC] key
54
<Note>: If you execute pre recording at 88.2k or 96k FS, the pre recording time
automatically reduces to half the selected value. For example, if the pre recording
time is set to ten seconds, the buffer stores only five seconds of audio data.
<Tip>
When you stop recording in the Pre rec mode, the unit will stop after executing "post
recording" which records audio data currently stored in the buffer.
<Note>: In the Pre rec mode, if you switch the Fs/Bit setting, wait for ten seconds
before starting recording .
Otherwise, the audio signal stored in the buffer is recorded with altered pitch.
Recording the slate tone
The DV824 can generate and record the slate tone.
While holding down the [SLATE TONE] key, the slate tone (at 1 kHz, reference
level) is fed to all channels, as well as output from the [ANALOG OUT]
connectors.
You can record the slate tone to the beginning of an audio file during recording,
as well as match the level between the DV824 and an external device.

In the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode, the "Tone Rec mode" menu item is
available. This item selects the mode for slate tone recording. By default, it is set to
"Off" and the tone is not automatically recorded. Use this menu item when you
want to use the slate tone function (see page 121 for details).
<Note>: When the Pre rec mode is active, the slate tone is not recorded at the
beginning of recording even though the slate tone Rec On/Off is set to "On". The
pop tone can be recorded at the recording end.

Cue point setting
The DV824 provides the following two ways of setting a cue point.
1.
During audio recording, you can set a cue point "on-the-fly" at the desired point.
2.
During playback or while stopped, you can set a cue point using the cue point list
on the screen.
Setting a cue point on the fly during audio recording
You can set a "cue point" at the point you press the [MARK/CUE] key during

[MARK/CUE] key
If you press the [MARK/CUE] key during recording, a cue point holding the
current time value is set, while "Cue:**Stored!" (** is a cue number) and the cue
time value are briefly shown on the screen.
Setting a cue point repeatedly counts up the cue number.
You can view cue points after recording.
Viewing the cue point list
Pressing the [MARK/CUE] key while the unit is stopped brings up the CUE LIST
screen as shown below. In this screen, the existing cue points are listed. In the
screen example below, cue points 01 through 04 are set, while no data is stored
on and after cue point 05. The time data is shown by the format based on the
time display indicator).
Labels are automatically given to the recorded CUEs. "BC$START" to CUE 01,
"BC$END" to CUE 02, and "Cue 03", "Cue 04"...."Cue 99" to CUE 03 and the
following cues. "BC$START" and "BC$END" for CUE 01 and CUE 02 are used as
the start and end points which specify the playback range for list play (see "List
play function" described later). Therefore, you can change the playback range
for list play by editing the "BC$START" and/or "BC$END" point(s). See "Editing
a cue point" on the next page for details.
(*) "BC$START" and "BC$END" are the label names reserved by the BWF-J specification.
56
On this list screen, you can not only view cue points but also locate to a cue
point, edit a cue point and add a new cue point to the list.
Editing a cue point
By selecting a desired cue point in the CUE LIST screen, you can edit its label or
point (time data) or delete it.
By highlighting a desired cue point and press the [ENTER/YES] key, the display
changes to show the screen for editing the selected cue point (by default,
"Label" flashes on the screen).

the [CLEAR/ FALSE START ] key clears the right next character to the cursor position. To
delete the whole label, press the [CLEAR/ FALSE START ] key repeatedly when the first
character flashes.
<Note>
By labeling "BC$START" and/or "BC$END" to any other desired cue point(s), you
can change the playback range for list play (see "List play function" described later).
In the example shown below, the labels for CUE 02 and CUE 04 are edited to "Cue
02" and " BC$END" respectively. After edited, if you execute list play in the
"Song_Link" mode, this file is played back within the range between "CUE 01" (00h
22m 34s) and "CUE 04" (01h 40m 11s).
If you want to play back all data of this file during list play, delete the cues labeled
"BC$START" and "BC$END" or edit "BC$START" and "BC$END" to other labels.

Audio CD playback
The DV824 can play back audio CDs (in the CD-DA format), as well as play back files
on a DVD-RAM disk. You can operate the DV824 for playing back an audio CD in a
similar way to an ordinary CD player.
<Note>: The DV824 can play back CD-DA format audio CDs including commercially available audio CDs. Note that, however, it may not be able to play back some CDs such as
copy-controlled CDs which are disc-protected.
Using the unit, you may play back commercially available audio CDs for your personal
use and enjoyment only. You may not use it for any commercial purpose whatsoever.
Unauthorized use is a violation of applicable laws and subject to criminal prosecution.
Before playing back an audio CD by the unit, we recommend setting the "CD stop
mode" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode appropriately (see the
next page).
1)
Set an audio CD to the tray and load it.
The unit automatically recognizes the CD as the CD-DA format disc and the
display shows the Home screen for audio CD. The screen shows the following
information.
The current "CD stop
mode" setting.
You can make setting via the quick
setup mode or the
"CD stop mode"
menu item in the
"SYS SETUP" menu
of the MENU mode.

List play function
The LIST PLAY function allows linking multiple audio files recorded with the same FS
on the disk and play back them continuously.
<Note>: To execute list play by linking audio file entries in an ALE file, you must add the
desired audio files to the ALE file created using the "EDIT EDL FILE" menu item.
See page 99 for details about the "EDIT EDL FILE" menu item.
There are four "link modes" for playing back linked audio files continuously, as below.
LTC-Link
Song-Link
You can link any audio files recorded with same FS on a disk (or in an ALE file). Each
selected file is played back at its original LTC position while LTC runs. If two audio files
overlaps the same LTC range, the file which has earlier LTC start time takes priority and
is played back while the other file is ignored (i.e. not played back).
After the unit finishes playback of the last file, playback continues while "<Silent>" is
shown on the screen.
You can link any audio files recorded with same FS on a disk (or in an ALE file). Selected
files are continuously played back (with no gaps) in order of date/time when each file is
added to the ALE file.
LTC starts from the LTC start time of the first audio file and jams the LTC of subsequent
audio files (therefore, continuous LTC is output).
In the Song link mode, you can also select “Stop Mode” from among List-End, Song,
Repeat and Off (the default is Off). The Stop mode decides how the unit stops link play.
See the next and the following pages for details.
List-Link
You can link any audio files recorded with same FS on a disk (or in an ALE file). Selected
files are continuously played back (with no gaps) in order of file number in the ALE file.
The unit outputs the original LTC of each audio file, so it is not always continuous.
When the unit finishes playing back the last file, it automatically stops.
Mid-Night
This mode is basically the same as the LTC-Link mode, except that the LTC starts running from "12h00m00s00f", crosses "24h00m00s00f" and ends at one frame earlier than
"12h00m00s00f" of the next day.
Therefore, an audio file which starts from between "00h00m00s00f" and "12h00m00s00f"
is linked after "24h00m00s00f".
<Note>: "<Silent>" is shown when no file to be played back exists after the current position on the LTC stream.
66
Let's assume that the current DVD-RAM disk contains six audio files (including a
deleted file, "005") recorded with the same FS, and each audio file has the LTC start
time as shown below.

If you execute list play of these files, they are played back as below.
List play in "LTC-Link" mode
The audio files are played back at their original positions in the LTC stream. When
executing list play in this mode, the unit plays back silence in the time code area
where no file is played back (between "File 001 and File 002).
File 003 is not played back because its start time overlaps the range of File 002. So
there is a 30-second silent area between File 002 and File 004.
The deleted file (005) is not played back so there is a 30-second silent area between
File 004 and File 006. After the unit finishes playback of the last file (006), playback
continues while "<Silent>" is shown on the screen.

127.)
<Note>: When recording external time code, you can view time value and
frame rate of external time code by selecting the time mode to "TC IN" using
the [TIME SEL] key.
TC generator mode setting
Depending on the TC generator mode, the unit records time code
differently.
You can select the desired TC generator mode via the quick setup mode,
as described on page 47. (You can also select the TC generator mode via
the "Gen Mode" menu item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the MENU mode.
See page 128 for details.) The following four generator modes are available.
24H Run
When recording, the unit records time code based on the current internal
RTC (real-time clock) time.
Rec Run
When recording, the unit records time code which continues from the last
time code value of the previous audio file.
If you change to a new disk which does not have any audio file and make
recording, the unit records time code which continues from the last time
code value of the most recent audio file on the disk previously set.
Free Run
When recording, the unit records time code generated by the internal generator which runs freely.
EXT Run
When recording, the unit records the incoming external time code.
80
Playing back time code
During playback, time code recorded on an audio file is played back together with audio signals and output from the [TIME CODE OUTPUT] connector provided with the optional TC/SYNC card. The playback time code
value is shown on the display when the time mode is set to "LTC".
Time code output setting
You can select the time code source fed from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector between "Repro" (playback time code) or "Gen" (generator time
code) via the "Sel. TC Out" menu item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the
MENU mode. The default is "Gen". See page 131 for details.
<Note>: When the "Sel. TC Out" menu item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the
MENU mode is set to "Gen", the [TIME CODE OUTPUT] connector outputs
time code generated by the internal TC generator.
<Note>: While "Sel. TC Out" is set to "Gen", generator time code is output in
the following conditions:
• When "Gen Mode" is set to "Free Run".
If necessary, the following menu items in the "TC SETUP" menu should be
appropriately set.
<Menu items which affect time code output>
1) "Edit LTC Start" menu item (for LTC start time setting). See page 132.
2) "Rep Pause TC" menu item (for TC output while paused). See page 134.
3) "Rep TC Ubit" menu item (for userbit setting of playback time code). See
page 133.
Jam function (the optional Model 8348 required)
The jam function of the DV824 internal generator allows taking over generating time
code after the generator locks to the external time code timing.
Using the jam function, even if time code connection is cut after lock is achieved, the
DV824 time code generator can run with extreme accuracy (its own crystal accuracy). Therefore, the DV824 can stripe time code in sync with the separated external
machine.
To execute the jam function, the following condition must be satisfied.
1)
External TC is fed to the [TIME CODE INPUT] connector which is provided
with the optional TC/SYNC card.
2)
The frame rate matches between external TC and the DV824.
3)
"Gen Mode" is set to "Free Run" (see page 128 for details).
* The time display mode is set to "TC IN" and external TC value is shown.
81
<Note>: If you are going to jam the external time code into the generator while the frame
rate of external time code does not match the DV824 frame rate, "Illegal Frame!" is shown
on the display for warning.

Auto copy function (the optional Model 9057 required)
When recording to an audio file on a partition of the Model 9057 optional hard disk
drive, the auto copy function automatically copies the same audio file to a DVD-RAM
disk. You can select the auto copy mode between the following two auto copy modes.
Immediately mode
Copy recording to a DVD-RAM disk is executed simultaneously when recording to a
hard disk partition.
The recording size of a take is limited to the capacity of the hard disk partition or
DVD-RAM disk.
<Note>: In this mode, if no DVD-RAM disk is set, the DV824 cancels the auto copy
mode and returns to the normal recording mode.
Background mode
Immediately after the DV824 ends recording to the partition and stops, the copy
starts.
In this mode, even if no DVD-RAM disk is set when starting recording, you can start
copying by setting a disk later.
<Note>: If you turn off the DV824 before setting a DVD-RAM disk, the copy data is
erased.
<Note>: While the auto copy mode is "On" and a DVD-RAM disk is set to the DVD-RAM
drive, if the partition you are going to record to is formatted in the "DDR" mode (for dual
drive recording), dual recording takes priority to auto copy.
<Note>: Editing the name or meta data of the file on the partition does not reflect to the
data on the DVD-RAM disk.
<Note>: Auto copy cannot be canceled by False start.
Selecting auto copy mode
The following procedure is assumed that a recordable DVD-RAM disk is set to the
DVD-RAM drive.
1)

Dual drive recording (the optional Model 9057 required)
Dual drive recording is a special function which simultaneously records the same
data to a "mirror" DVD-RAM disk (*) while recording audio data to a hard disk partition specially formatted for "dual drive recording".
Dual drive recording intends to make a clone disk.
Therefore, editing meta data or disk volume label (reel No.) of an audio file recorded
to a hard disk partition is reflected to a "mirror" DVD-RAM disk.
(*) About "mirror" disk
A DVD-RAM disk which is the partner of the current drive formatted for "dual
drive recording" is called a "mirror disk".
When formatting the DV824 internal hard disk partition for "dual drive recording", a DVD-RAM disc set to the DVD-RAM drive is automatically assigned as a
"mirror disk". Therefore, when making dual drive recording, the "mirror disk"
must be set to the drive.
<Note>: You cannot record data only to the mirror disk.
To make it possible to record data only to the mirror disk, reformat the current hard
disk partition for normal recording via the "Format" menu item in the "DISC UTILITY" menu of the MENU mode.
The following explains how to format a partition for dual drive recording and how to
make dual drive recording.
Formatting in the "DDR" mode
To carry out dual drive recording, you have to format the current partition in the
"DDR" mode for dual drive recording. The following procedure is assumed that the
"PT02HD" hard disk partition is currently selected (see page 83 for details about how
to select a partition).
1)
2)
89
3)
Use the [MENU] dial to select "Format" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display now shows the screen for format setting.
We assume to use the default reel number (volume label) which is "S003", and
skip to the format mode selection.
(If you want to change the reel number later, you can do it using the "Reel No"
menu item in the "DISK UTILITY" menu of the MENU mode.)
4)
Use the [MENU] dial to select "Format Mode" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The current format mode ("Normal" on the screen below) flashes. You can now
select the desired mode.
5)
Use the [MENU] dial to select "DDR" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The format mode is set to "DDR" and "EXECUTE" is highlighted.
6)
While "EXECUTE" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the caution message before executing formatting.
As this caution message tells you, if you format partition 2 (PT02) in the "DDR"
mode, the DVD-RAM disk which is assigned as a "mirror disk" is also formatted
and all data on the DVD-RAM disk and partition 2 are erased.
7)
If you are sure, press the [ENTER/YES] key to execute formatting.
The display now shows the formatting progress indication. When formatting
completes, "Fmt.Completed!" is shown.
90
8)
After exiting the MENU mode, the display returns to the Home screen of the
current partition, while the DV824 scans the mirror disk.
On the Home screen, you can see "
shown below.
" beside the name of the partition, as
Now you are ready for dual drive recording.
Making dual drive recording
The following procedure is assumed that the selected partition (PT02) is "DDR" formatted and a mirror disk is set to the DVD-RAM drive.
<Note>: To execute dual drive recording, you must set a mirror disk to the DVD-RAM disk
drive. If a wrong disk is set to the DVD-RAM disk drive or no disk is set, the DV824 detects
an error when scanning the mirror disk, and shows a caution message ("Difference! DDR
mirror disk", etc.). When it scans a correct mirror disk, "Presence! DDR mirror disk" is
shown.
<Note>: When starting dual drive recording, if the current drive is "Normal" formatted,
switch to a "DDR" formatted hard disk partition and set a mirror disk to the DVD-RAM
drive.
On the screen for selecting a drive, "DDR" is placed on the right of the name of the "DDR"
formatted partition. So you can easily distinguish them.
1)
Start recording to partition 2 ("PTO2").
Dual drive recording starts. The DV824 also make recording to the mirror disk in
the background, as well as recording to partition 2 ("PTO2").
2)
After completing recording, press the [STOP/HOME] key to stop recording.
If recording has not been successfully made, immediately cancel by the False start
function and make recording again.

Chasing external TC (the optional Model 8348 required)
The following explains how to chase-sync the unit to time code received from the
[TIME CODE INPUT] connector when the optional TC/SYNC card (Model 8348) is
installed.
In the following connection example, a VTR is a master, while the DV824 (with the
Model 8348) is a slave. The DV824 receives time code recorded on the master VTR
and chase the master. A word sync reference signal is also fed to the DV824 from the
master VTR.

On a DVD-RAM disk, the DV824 creates the "info" folder under the "bwff" folder. The
"Info" folder stores ALE (Avid Log Exchange) files and various information files such
as a diagnoses file.
About an ALE file
An ALE file is an EDL (Edit Decision List) file for exporting audio data created by the DV824
to an AVID system. Because it is a text file, a personal computer easily reads it.
Note that the start and end time values of the file are referenced to the BWF time reference
and data length. The ALE file is also used for the DV824 list play function.
